How Do You Use The Toilet After Shoulder Surgery?

The common question is, how do I use the toilet after shoulder surgery? The answer is exactly like you used it before.

You’re not going to damage anything by reaching behind your back. In that way, you may be a little bit sore. It may be difficult. Adjusting these everyday habits is a routine part of your home prep and pain-management plan. If that’s the case, and you are recovering from a same day shoulder surgery, you can come from the front. That’s what some patients do, or you can use your other hand.

You know, I shave my face and brush my teeth every morning with my left hand because I’m a surgeon and I want both hands to be ambidextrous. I’ve done that for years. But you can use the other hand, come from the front, or just do it like you normally do.

As a dedicated Shoulder Surgeon in Dallas, my goal is to make your recovery as practical and stress-free as possible. So, in general, you can do it just as you did before or modify it in whatever way you want from a comfort standpoint.
